Ikaya. That's in Kalte, isn't it?

It is the ice fortress of the Ancients, IIRC

I think some people might've missed my point that Kalte is one of the most evocative places in Magnamund

Ikaya. Isn't that where LW bought all his flatpack furniture?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
:lol:
I've adaptated the LW books to play the "official" campaign with my players and we just finished the "Caverns of Kalte" episode.
It was VERY difficult to avoid laughing every time the word "Ikaya" was pronounced! I couldn't count the number of gags made about this strange blue and yellow fortress full of crumbling furniture! :wink:

You people pronounce it that badly? It's clearly a soft I as in it or fish, and kaya as in Kaya (the eastern european name) or possibly Kah-Ya (not too sure on that one).
One of the benefits of being of the same nationality as the author means you'll have a fairly good idea how he'd say the things he writes.

Either you are being ironic or you've not heard that interview Joe Dever gave at an Italian comics convention (it's over at Tower Of The Sun). How would you pronounce Giak, Drakkar or Banedon? According to JD, it is Gee-ack, Dray-car and Ban-uh-don.

No, I'm being honest. For years I've been right about everything exept giaks (and I still say giaks instead of geeyacks which is what you'd expect a scouser of geordie to come up with ).
).
